To review and cancel a failed estimation job
On the System Parameters page, click the name of the system parameters job to open a Job Status page. The page displays the status of the estimation job, and an Error Message column that shows the number of errors and warnings that were generated for each step of the job, where:
• Errors cause an estimation job to fail.
• Warnings are for informational purposes only. They do not cause an estimation job to fail.
For example, if the panel does not contain all the markers in your sample, then errors are generated for the Validate step and the estimation job fails. If there is allele dropout for a marker for a specific profile, then a warning message is generated for the Validate step, but the estimation job continues. You have two options at this point:
• You can click the number of errors/warnings entry in the Error Message column to open the Step Output page that details these errors and warnings that were generated for the failed step, for example, if the loaded profile is missing a genotype for a specific marker. After you review the specific errors and warnings, you can use standard Go Back One Page button on your browser to return to the Job Status page and cancel the job.
• You can click the Cancel System Parameters Job option that is displayed at the top of the Job Status page to immediately cancel the job and return to the System Parameters page. The job entry for the canceled estimation job is no longer displayed on the page.
After you have determined the errors that caused the job to fail and corrected the cause of the errors (for example, adding missing profiles to the Single Source Profile file), you can set up a new estimation for the system parameters. After the estimation is successfully completed, continue to
